One of the first steps on the critical path of urban redevelopment is defining the nature and extent of the subsurface environmental contamination on the property of interest. In most instances, the involved parties desire the site assessment phase to be completed in a timely and cost effective manner in order to reach a decision point as to the economic viability and general marketability of the real estate. Using the Advanced Field Screening System (AFSS ^SM) EMA can provide a reliable, quick, and inexpensive means to site assessment. AFSS ^SM utilizes direct push sampling technology, narrow diameter collection points, and field laboratory analysis to assess subsurface contaminates.

Once comprehensive assessment of the property has been completed, EMA can offer turn key demolition and remediation services. EMA has worked with many of the leading institutions and developers on urban revitalization projects.
